Indeed, and the news coverage has been suitably sympathetic. S'cuse the cynicism, but...I'd say one of the safest predictions in football is that some opposing supporters will not demonstrate such sensitivity. He's contracted to Man U until at least the end of next season - away games at Man City and Liverpool in particular may offer up jaw-dropping chants of the worst throwback nature. For those unfamiliar with how bad it gets, Liverpool's fans over many years have been fond of referencing the 1958 Munich air crash when Man U visit by way of borrowing the tune of Always Look on the Bright Side of Life and singing "Always look on the runway for ice!"

Juventus legend Stefano Tacconi likely undergoing emergency brain surgery after suffering an apparent cerebral hemorrhage. He has had some health issues in the past, but nothing this serious.

A bulletin will be released soon, but apparently he is in ICU in a critical condition and doctors are evaluating if he can be operated. Also not clear if it was an ischemic stroke or a cerebral hemorrhage. Not looking good for him at the moment, though.

Aleksei Bakharev, a midfielder who won one cap for both Russia and Ukraine in his career, has died aged 45.

His sole cap for Russia came in a friendly with Brazil on November 18th 1998.

 

Was boredly looking at the list of players who have caps for more than one nation on RSSF - turns out, following Bakharev's death, there are only two players alive who have two caps, each for a different nation: Miroslav Chvíla (Czechoslovakia 1992, Slovakia 1994) and Mukhsin Mukhamadiev (Tajikistan 1992, Russia 1994).

Wilfrid Zaha played twice for England before switching allegiance to the Ivory Coast. Has 26 caps at the moment.

 

Declan Rice had 1 cap for Ireland before switching to England

What does that CV say about the quality of Bermuda's selection options?

I suppose this fits this thread: "Super agent" Mino Raiola had emergency surgery in Milan: https://www.sportface.it/calcio/mino-raiola-operato-durgenza-al-san-raffaele-condizioni-delicate/1617260

 

Edit: He has denied it being an emergency on twitter:

 

Word on the TwitterMusk is Mino Raiola has died.

 

Waiting on the usuals...

Not this round, actually. What a life he lived though, from pizza delivery boy to buying Al Capone's mansion with the profits from the Pogba transfer.

And now it's being denied:

 

Still, it could be a matter of time. One of his assistants confirmed to Dutch media Raiola is 'critical, but not dead.'

Lovely. Raiola's death if not confirmed could be the most widely reported death that hasn't happened this century.

 

And no, never heard of him.

Literally defying the grim reaper just to get the Pogba-back-to-Juventus transfer over the line, what a worker.

Perhaps it says something about Mino Raiola that he can personally deny his own death and I'm still sceptical .

I don't believe he tweeted that as he is very ill in intensive care.
